May go from 09 Maxima to 370z

Division · 12-24-2009, 09:01 AM

Take a look at truecar.com. It'll get you in the ball park of what to pay for the car.

As far as the seating is concerned. I'd put the Z in between the vette and the maxima. The Z is low - but getting in and out of my frieds vette seems more "difficult". It is a sports car after all...

Great site...looks like 38-39k fully loaded is realistic + TTL. Cherokee will be higher. I have a feeling Nissan will give me more value on the Maxima I just bought fromt hem a year and a half ago though.

You'll definitely get more for the Maxima at a Nissan store than at any domestic store. Where are you in the Northeast? I'll put together a deal, just pm me with the vehicle specifics and i'll give you a price on the Z and the trade value of maxima!

think I should sell the Maxima back to the Nissan I bought it from then go deal with Jeep if I go the SRT8 route?

Most dealers outside of a Carmax will tend to give you a better number for your trade if you are actually going to buy a new car from them. You are going to take a beating no matter what you do, but you will probably take less of a beating buying a Nissan, although i think you had this exact same thread on the board about 8 months ago, so I really don't know how serious you are.

Doesn't Jeep kinda suck quality-wise?

Anyone come off a LS1 car that can compare the power/torque to the 370Z in terms of feel?

Not even comparable. The LS1 is a fantastic motor. You feel it start to pull at 1500-2000 RPM.

Obviously, there are better choices than the LS1 now though, like the LS2/LS3.

I still have my LS1 Z28...I know how hard it pulls, love the sound, etc. I drove the LS2 GTO, and LS3 C6 Vette, but haven't gotten into the Z yet. Would you say the Z (rated at 32 more HP) is still a STRONG engine even when compared to an LS1?

Strong? Yeah, compared to a bone-stock LS1. Torque? Not even close, IMHO, but maybe I was spoiled (I had a cammed/juiced 2000 Z28). BTW, worthy noting - the LS1's for F-bodies were very badly underrated - mine put down ~300 to the wheels in stock form...

However, what the 370 has over it is FAR better handling, and, IMHO, way higher fun-factor (not to mention looks).
